UTG (has me covered and I don't have too much of a read other than he played a big pot calling a 4bet pre then folding flop on a low board to continued aggression)
CO (fishy, limp calls alot 400ish)
BB (covers and just sat down with full 1K stack)
Hero Button. Not a horrible or great image and UTG and BB have only played a few orbits.
UTG Limps, CO limps, Hero Raise to 25 AdJc. SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, CO folds
Flop : ($72 rake adjusted) Kh2s3s checkings to me I cbet $40. BB folds. UTG calls
Kxx boards are traditionally high frequency cbet boards. Players have adjusted to this. Which means we benefit from a bit more backdoor equity when we bluff cbet (esp multiway) so we can see more cards to barrel with.
If you are going to cbet I would bet less. We are not folding out any pairs or FDs here. We want to deny equity to unpaired hands.
AP, we now have a sizeable flop against a narrower range. We can continue to push our range advantage I guess but we are playing a high variance spot and just blasting off because its a K-high board.
We can check back IP and evaluate river with a hand that actually has some SDV against draws.
I would barrel twice and give up unimproved on the river. In case V is on a draw it will be less likely you will get bluffed on the river AND you get value with A high. Also we unblock NFD. If you check back turn, V can bet river with impunity. If the plan was to fire 1 bullet and give up, you should have just checked flop to give up right away.
Also, I don't think a down bet is in order here. You should not be betting this board 4-ways that frequently. So when you do bet, it should be for a bigger size (50%+).
I don't like the flop play at all, 1/3-1/4 is much better if you decide to bet, but I'd just check it back. Not the greatest hand to bluff, has some sdv and not many turns improve it. You're betting into 3 players, even though the flop is good for you you still can't just autocbet and win. AP I'd give up turn and try checking it down (maybe call river vs some suspicious sizing, he should have plenty of hands you still beat).
I like a c-bet. Could be a little smaller, but not much. Does this player give off any vibe by how he's dressed, how he handles himself, how his chips are stacked, etc.?
Depending on the vibe, I probably bet the turn, too, vs. someone who called a 4bet and folded a low flop. ~$75.
Also, how might UTG see you? Are you young, do you look gambl-y or are you OMC-ish?
